Specifies the URL or GUID of the Web to be exported. The type must be either
– a valid GUID, in the form ‘12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh’
– a valid name of a SharePoint site (for example, MySPSite1)
or a URL: http://blog.blksthl.com
or an instance of a valid SPWeb object

Path

Required

Specifies the name of the export file. If the -NoFileCompression parameter is used, a directory must be specified; otherwise, any file format is valid.
Example: “c:\temp\exportedsite.cmp” or with the -NoFileCompression “c:\temp\exportedsite\”

AssignmentCollection

Optional

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

Note:

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

CompressionSize

Optional

Sets the maximum file size for the compressed export files. If the total size of the exported package is greater than this size, the exported package will be split into multiple files.

Confirm

Optional

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters

Force

Optional

-Force Forcefully overwrites the export package if it already exists.The type must be either of the following values:
–True–FalseThe default value is False.

HaltOnError

Optional

Stops the export process when an error occurs.

HaltOnWarning

Optional

Stops the export process when a warning occurs.

IncludeUserSecurity

Optional

Preserves the user security settings except for SPLists that have broken inheritance and item level permissions set.
(Use Import-SPWeb with –IncludeUserSecurity to preserve security on import)

IncludeVersions

Optional

Indicates the type of file and list item version history to be included in the export operation. If the-IncludeVersions parameter is absent, the Export-SPWeb cmdlet by default uses a value of CurrentVersion. The type must be any one of the following versions:LastMajor “Last major version for files and list items (default)”CurrentVersion “The current version, either the last major version or the last minor version”LastMajorAndMinor “Last major and last minor version for files and list items”All “All versions for files and list items”

ItemUrl

Optional

Specifies the relative path to the object to be exported. Can also be a GUIDThe type must be a valid relative path, for example, /Subsite/Documents
or a valid GUID in the form: 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh

NoFileCompression

Optional

Either enables or disables file compression in the export package. The export package is stored in the folder specified by the Path parameter or Identity parameter. We recommend that you use this parameter for performance reasons. If compression is enabled, the export process can increase by approximately 30 percent.

NoLogFile

Optional

Suppresses the generation of an export log file. If this parameter is not specified, the Export-SPWeb cmdlet will generate an export log file in the same location as the export package. The log file uses Unified Logging Service (ULS).It is recommended to use this parameter. However, for performance reasons, you might not want to generate a log file.

UseSqlSnapshot

Optional

Specifies a SQL Database Snapshot will be created when the export process begins, and all exported data will be retrieved directly from the database snapshot. This snapshot will be automatically deleted when export completes.

WhatIf

Optional

Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters
